34 Years Work. the minister has received. His living expenses have risen just as fast and as far as yours. But he is paid on the average just 52 cents more per church member than he was paid 34 years ago. The Minister Never Fails You Every officer of the Government with a war message to deliver appealed to the ministers first of all. But 8@% of the ministers receive less income than government economists figure as a minimum for the support of an average family. When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the ministers—and receive it. But when sickness visits the minister or the members of his family they must be treated in a charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s. 8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic. We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the cnurch; an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church member, All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our children; visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual training of the youth. We Are Ail Profiteers at Their Expense Part of the Interchurch World program is this—a living wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient pian. and a chance to do a big man’s job. If you want better preachers, heip to pay the preachers better.

He said France felt the | danger of her position in a way it ed to the fact that Belgium had as sumed a position identical with that of France because Belgium, like France, felt the danger of her proxi mity to Germany Premier Miilerand Said position is absolutely We were in the presence of “France's simple. a series of German violations of the treaty, the last of which affects pre- those articles of the treaty which were covered by the French British-American agreement under which England and America were to come to our assistance. “The German government asked permission to send troops into the Ruhr. Why? Because they knew the sending of troops into that region was forbidden by the treaty. We refused to give that permission. Nevertheless the German government ordered troops into the Ruhr.

Fewer repair bills Better mileage—and longer ser- vice repay you many times the price of proper over- hauling. : Give Your Car New Life Don’t wait until your car stops running before put- ting it inthe shop.
